Write that this great feast of handball, is nothing to write. The most important club event in the world in this discipline will again be a great success – know about it before it starts. Although already the sixth time in a row organized by Germans and among professionals heard louder criticism.
So it will still run for subsequent years. Why? The answer is simple: because nobody in Europe can do it better. Half of the seats in the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, which has a capacity of 20 thousand. spectators, was sold … the last day of last year’s Final Four Velux EHF Champions League! It then began booking of tickets for this year’s tournament. That’s why for fans of the four teams participating in this festival handball – MVM Hungarian MKB-Veszprem, German THW Kiel, Barcelona and Vive Targi Kielce – allocated only 500 tickets available.
Kielce club had with this dilemma . – We estimate that up to 5 thousand. our fans were willing to go – says Bertus Servaas, president of Vive Tauron. Part of the pool but we had to allocate for sponsors and players. Finally, for fans Polish champions were only 100 passes. And another dilemma: how to separate them. It was decided to unusual, but most just solution – draw. And all this at a two-day passes priced from 65 to 265 euros.
Not only the Kielce club complained about too small a pool of tickets allocated by the organizers of the Final Four. The same problem had the Hungarians, and even … Germany. – It’s definitely not enough for our fans and partners. Very well I understand the frustration of fans who must remain at home – recently said Thorsten Storm, manager of THW Kiel. A month ago he claimed that the club already has over 3 thousand. notifications on tickets for the Final Four.
The prestige of the event is one thing and the organization itself – the second. Perfect organization. On Friday evening, it started Opening Party front of the hall. Several thousand spectators seemed extra 5 or 7 euros in order to see the scene all four teams, listen to the stars of the German stage, but mainly drink beer and have fun together. Two years ago, when Vive debut in this tournament, did furore Kielce fans. Yesterday evening together with fans from Veszprem also showed that over the weekend will create a very special atmosphere here.
20 thousand. lucky in the stands Lanxess Arena for two days, will enjoy the best handball players in the world. But not only. The organizers will make sure that this weekend for a long time stuck in their memory. Not only because many competitions with attractive prizes. Two years ago, during the opening ceremony for the center of the field … we had been lit fireplace. At what stage design will perform on Saturday the winner of “The Voice of Germany” Kim Sanders, it is difficult to predict.
And in all this is the Kielce team. Besieged yesterday at a briefing at the Radisson Blu by journalists from all over Europe. Compliments from all sides. – We have to play very well to beat Kielce – said the Icelandic capital Barcelona winger Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson.
